Jingle Time

 Hello December. I look forward to you all year. In 16 days I will be 64. In 17 days Son #1 will be 40. In 19 days DIL will be.....I dunno, 21 maybe? In 21 days Big Grand will be 5. Where does the time go? It was just yesterday that he was a baby burrito behind a glass window.



 Since Thanksgiving was so early everyone has been jolly for a while now. The boardwalk is very festive.



 The memorial benches are especially poignant this time of year.



That's me reflected in the market sign. I'm out trying to walk off the Thanksgiving pounds-and the Halloween pounds. I'm kidding myself to think I am going to shed a few by Christmas but I've been hitting the elliptical every morning. I am that serious.



Having said that I am also counting the days until I can cut into my fruitcake. Those little mini cakes were good...and they are all gone.

    My birthday is this month as well! I'm trying to get into the holiday spirit and have resolved to do some decorating this weekend. Walking on a boardwalk sounds much better than neighborhood walking; I really miss living by the water but do love my neighborhood very much!

    Goodness! December is a really busy month for you isn't it? I've gained 2 lbs. over the last few weeks. Yesterday at W.W. was a reckoning for me. I have to be better in December and re-lose those lbs.
    Having said that, the fruitcake looks delicious!
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    It's possible that I gained weight just looking at your fruitcake :)

    OH you are having a fun birthday coming up!!!!!!! Im allowing myself ONE bite of anything a day . One bite is all I get of a Cookie, or cake or chip. The rest of the day I behave. So far so good
